Got going early, about 5:30am. Hit the trail in full stride. Was hoping to do 33 miles. As I started hiking that day, I thought I might have a chance to get to the post office before it shuts down for the weekend. That would save me a half day, because on Saturday the post office didn’t open till 1pm. Kept a steady pace to at least keep it an option. Made solid miles throughout the day and did 42 miles. I ended up at Waner Valley Campground. Dropped my pack once a found a picnic table. It was 11pm. by the time I made it there and everyone was passed out. Made some great diner. It included two packs of Ramen and a tuna pack. Ate so fast my stomach hurt getting half way thru the meal. After laying back and relaxing five minutes, I felt like a million bucks again. Got set up, threw my food in the bear box, and passed out.
